Finger Lakes Dry Rose Blend 2016

Getting some air now on this bottle, so notes soon.
I spent way too much time mowing my lawn today, so time to relax in our low 80° temps today.

Holy moly, the color on this wine is crazy, they got a lot of extraction from the skins for sure. Light ruby, like a flawless stone you can see right through.

Nose is interesting with heavy strawberry and light banana notes.

Palate is very fruity, strawberry really dominates. First harvest strawberry, where the sweetness is still restrained, second harvest is always the most generous on flavor. Also faint tart cherry, fresh not dried, now showing with more air and warming of the wine.

This can easily become a staple rosé in our house, wow great bottle. Now I have to see if I can get more '16. This was their inaugural release, we acquired last Fall, BB has already moved on to '17.

Off to Bordeaux today - Any down to earth winery you can recommend - I am not into the gleaming shiny high tech 1-3 growths.

Maybe Chateau Belgrave in the Haut Medoc and Calon-Ségur in St. Estèphe, would be a couple I'd be seeking out.

@Pinotman /// Andreas If want to visit Chateaus in Bordeaux in the next week, they don’t see anyone without an appointment. If you haven’t already, I’d start calling and or emailing them ASAP.

Red Tail Ridge Winery

Miscreant Finger Lakes Chardonnay Pinot Gris

Red Tail Ridge on Seneca Lake. "Orange" wine, Chardonnay dominant blended with Pinot Gris. Nose of vanilla, cream and peach. Healthy bite of citrus acidity that is slightly chewy, and a long cider like finish that makes me want more, more, more. One of the coolest, and most delicious wines I've drank! First Wine like this I've seen distributed in the FLX. #flxwine — 9 years ago

Eminence Road Farm Winery

Seneca Lake Dry Chardonnay 2012

This is the 2nd bottle of this wine, the first was last thanksgiving. Just like last year, upon opening its skightly FIZZY, and the taste is a bit cider. On the outre side even for me . So. ....and this is why patience works out sometimes with these wines...I recorked, shook very vigorously to let out gas, un corked, did this twice put in fridge.
Next day, way calmer, but still something on palate I didn't like. Shook let more gas out,.put back in fridge, day 3...!!! viola, wine still and the cider turned into a lovely Minerally Chardonnay.,..gorgeous.
My advice wait on this wine or decant.overnight.
